Star Trek CCG Dream Cards AtoZ

Jellico's ship, but don't expect some grand design... THE ENTRIES: [6] Cairn [7] Cairo, U.S.S. [8] Cal Tech [9] Calaman sherry [10] Calamarain (no card required) NOTES:  [6] Since only telepaths can normally travel to Mind Locations, this card makes it possible for them to bring someone along. Note that the telepath travels normally, so the ML must be "present". Source: "Dark Page" [7] Pretty basic other than its matching commander, who pushes his crew hard enough for the attributes to be this high (for an Excelsior, I mean). Source: "Chain of Command, Part I" [8] Affects both sides of the table. Source: "Future's End" [9] The Food affects SECURITY personnel aboard the ship or facility, but only androids PRESENT with those personnel, that is, at the same Site. Source: "In Theory" [10] Already exists as an Event in the Q-Continuum expansion. Next up: Yet another Bajoran "HQ". Cards: Mind Bridge, USS Cairo, 20th-Cent...

We start on another expansion of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. For the "C" section of the Star Trek Encyclopedia, I used the expansion title "Crossfire"; it accounts for 366 entries (before we get into Enhanced). THE ENTRIES: [1] caber toss [2] Cabot, Ensign [3] Cabral sector [4] cabrodine [5] Café des Artistes NOTES:  [1] I took my tongue out of my cheek long enough to invent lore that made more Trek sense. Source: Referenced in "Sub Rosa", so I've colored the sky a similar shade as the featured planet. [2] Stellar Cartography is a ship Site [BL-A30]. Source: "Lessons" (though technically the uncredited Richardson, as a member of Neela's team, I decided to make him stand in for Cabot) [3] Homeward is only worth +5 points if it hasn't been solved yet; after its points are scored, it's too late to give them a bonus. Source: TNG's "H...

The last five Broken Links from By Inferno's Light... BROKEN LINKS: [36] Baseball personnel [37] Upturned [38] Voth ship [39] A bioship Tactic [40] Yanar NOTES:  [36] Umpire Odo is the ultimate neutral, so the only one who's not [Fed], but his special skill and giving everyone a shot at a baseball personnel makes this more than thematic. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [37] Brone [B+70] can nullify this card. Source: Voyager's "Nemesis" [38] The Voth subset required a ship, especially after Odala [BL-B16] was named its matching commander. Requires Voth with both staffing icons, these can't be supplied by non-Voth. Neutralized equipment simply doesn't function, it is not discarded. The stats are more or less based on the equally gigantic (but non-hostile) Fesarius. Source: "Distant Origin" [39] The note on the Bioship [B+49] promises an 8479 Tactic. Source: "Scorpion" [40] Yanar [B159] suspends Treaties while with her. T...

More Broken Links... This time: A station and a couple of ships... BROKEN LINKS: [31] Trepar [32] Tribble [33] Ty'Gokor [34] T'Kumbra, U.S.S. [35] Victory, U.S.S. NOTES:  [31] Borven [B+61] can report directly to him. Source: Referenced in "Ties of Blood and Water"; pic from "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night" [32] Head in the Clouds [B379] downloads an ANIMAL to any ship, and its note assumes an ANIMAL version of a Tribble as a nuisance to send to enemy ships. Source: "The Trouble with Edward" [33] It'll be a while before I reveal the Hall of Warriors, but it's a Site that plays on Ty'Gokor and is mentioned on Order of the Bat'leth [B108. Source: "Apocalypse Rising" [34] In adding Captain Solok in these very Broken Links [BL-B3], it forced me to create the ship for which he is matching commander. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [35] Paul Bogrow [B260] boosts personnel aboard this ship. Source: Referenced ...

More Broken Links... This time: 8472! BROKEN LINKS: [26] Species 8472 [27] Strike! [28] Baseball personnel [29] Ten-Forward [30] The Net NOTES:   [26] Needed to staff Bioships [B+49] and support all those 8472 infiltrators. In personnel battle, hand weapons don't count against them, they can't be negatively affected by Equipment cards. I almost made them unable to mix, but they definitely worked with Voyager a few times, so I've just made it more difficult to do so. Source: "Prey" [27] The card can be nullified by Bunt [B+74]. You either continue without effect, lose a personnel, or get stopped, but a "Ball" result may lose you some cards from the deck. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [28] Captain Solok has the matching Nemesis icon. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [29] In the list of Food-serving sites in the not to [B17]. U.S.S. Enterprise-D personnel are those that specifically reference the ship in their lore. Other ...

More Broken Links... This time: Some of the more complicated cards to design in the set... BROKEN LINKS: [21] Ornara [22] Quinn [23] Replimat [24] Sanctuary District A [25] Seventh Tactical Wing NOTES:  [21] Search Cargo Vessel [B332] creates a region with this mission. Source: TNG's "Symbiosis"; pic from Lower Decks' "Trusted Sources" [22] The Big Bang [B201] interacts with this card (see Female Q for rules on Q-Personnel). Not only can he move a ship to that Time Location, he also takes the possibility of points part of the way with his skills AND protects the ship from destruction. The Quinn interrupt didn't exist yet, and I'm loathe to have two cards with the same title, but the download makes the distinction. Source: "Death Wish" [23] In the list of Food-serving sites in the not to [B17]. [24] The Bell Riots card [B139] plays here and initiates timeline disruption. I tried to make it work based on that card's text, which is why you...

More Broken Links from By Inferno's Light! This time: Who's up for a game of Parrises Squares? BROKEN LINKS: [16] Voth personnel [17] Parrises Squares [18] Penny Muroc [19] Baseball personnel [20] Baseball personnel NOTES:  [16] Voth emerge as attribute drainers and strong Law personnel. Odala is matching commander for a ship we've yet to see, but will. Source: "Distant Origin" [17] A couple of references necessitated this Broken Link. To Each His Own [B80] nullifies it, and Belle [B+35] has a STRENGTH boost when playing it. Those were my clues as to what to do with it. Source: "Is There in Beauty No Truth?" [18] Penny is a native of the Bonestell Recreation Facility Time Location [B274]. There wasn't really room to limit the Food card nullification to drinks and beverages, but I can easily imaging her throwing full plates around.
